Coach Talk

Omaha Steaks
Listen Omaha Steaks, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 18 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 160.15. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Mingapolcos
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 15. With only 15 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
